The Legendary Ford Taunus P5 20M TS
The original Ford Taunus P5 20M TS comes from the second generation of the Taunus series and was produced from 1964 to 1967. The car was designed by Uwe Bahnsen and Wesley Dahlberg, building on the successful line of the previous Taunus 17M. The Taunus P5 had a curvaceous design and was equipped with a V4 or V6 engine, giving it powerful performance. The highest level of engine was a 2.0 liter V6 engine with 90 PS (88 hp). This was quite impressive for that time. The car had a top speed of 160 km/h (99 mph) and could accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 14 seconds, which was very respectable back then.
1/18 Scale Model Car by BoS
The model of the Ford Taunus P5 20M TS in a 1/18 scale shown here was manufactured by BoS. However, it has been modified by its owner, "TrolleyJack", so it does not represent the original product of the manufacturer. The finely detailed features of the model car are highly valued. Every chrome strip, the detailed radiator grille, and the accurately replicated headlights reflect the authenticity of the original. The turquoise color with the cream-colored roof captures the typical look of the vehicle from that era perfectly. This is a model that appeals not only to Taunus fans but also to enthusiasts of historical automobiles.
Historical Events from the Year 1964
The year 1964 marked the introduction of the Ford Taunus P5 20M TS. It was the year when the Vietnam War escalated in intensity and the Beatles solidified their worldwide fame with hits like "I Want to Hold Your Hand". Such historical events help to better understand the chronological and cultural context of the vehicle. The Taunus at that time represented stability and economic growth in Europe, precise engineering, and high-quality craftsmanship, elements that are also reflected in the model.
Detailed Description of the Modelly Miniatures
The owner "TrolleyJack" has exceptionally detailed modifications on the Ford Taunus P5 20M TS model in a 1/18 scale produced by BoS. The turquoise color paint is complemented by the cream-colored roof, creating an elegant look. Even though not visible in the photos, the interior has been intricately detailed as well. Noteworthy is how "TrolleyJack" retained the original rims, capturing the style of the 1960s. This model car allows collectors to take a closer look at a historically significant vehicle and immerse themselves in a different era. The uniqueness of this model is that, due to the modifications, it significantly differs from the regular version by BoS, making it a one-of-a-kind piece.
